Hi, I am currently studying my AS-levels in: maths, biology, chemistry and physics and would like to know when I should start my revision for each subject to get a Grade B or above, I have 3 exams for maths and 2 for each of the sciences so 9 exams in total.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks, Regards.
Also, if you did similar subjects as me, share when you started revision and what grade you got in the subject.

Varies per person but I believe serious revision begins anywhere between March and April.
Maths, if you're good then a couple weeks before of just past papers.
Chemistry, I didn't do much unit 1 revision because it was at the end of my first set of exams lol. There's a half term at the end of may which I used to revise chem 2 (couple hours each day)
Really depends on how much you understand during the year, studying and revising are not the same. It's good to understand everything and then come back to it than wait and leave it until later to understand
For mocks start in early December, for real exams 1st April that's what I did to get straight A's. Also you should be working hard in all lessons and frees, but the intensive revision will start at this date otherwise you risk burnout. I cranked it up to 7hours on a Saturday etc
I've been making revision notes and doing work books etc as I go along
Also what exam board do you do for maths because I'm doing Edexcel so have 4 exams but one of those is decision maths and I'm not sure whether we do that or not
Haha, the nerds who start now, how you continue to make me chuckle.
Basically OP, do it whenever you want. It's best to do little and often. I find it's good to review the previous topics every half term break.
I'm in A2 now, and my biggest tip however is to make sure you prepare revision materials as you go along through the course, and not at the end. I realised come exam season I need a few more notes, and spent a lot of time redoing all my notes, which was very time-consuming. So each term, collect and sum up all your notes ready for revision.
I'm planning to properly start in the Christmas holidays but if I do have time, I'll hopefully squeeze bits of revision in between catchup work (I keep on missing a lot of school), homework, friends and extra curricular activities
Don't spend all Xmas holidays hibernating for these mocks in January, there's no point. I just looked over a few notes, like hour hour a day and got I think CCDD. When the real ones came round I started end of March, and revised properly and came out with A B B. Don't stress yourself with these mocks, they mean nothing.

I did the exact same subjects as you at AS (and I've continued all four onto AS). Honestly, I didn't start revision until I got off for study leave which was around the 10th of May. My first exam was the 13th. I somehow got AAAB (with the B in Physics and one mark off an A. But I guess that serves me right.).
But I seriously would not recommend this. I spent all of summer freaking out because I knew I didn't do enough revision and I nearly cried with relief when I got my results back in August. I'd suggest starting the hardcore revision around Easter at the latest, if you be sure to review topics throughout the year. I've already started revising for my A2s.
My new motto is that it's never too early to start your revision.
